TFI Local Link Cavan Monaghan is set to introduce a new bus route connecting Kells and Cootehill.
This new route which begins Monday the 20th of October is part of the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan, a major national public transport initiative developed and funded by the National Transport Authority (NTA) as part of the Transport for Ireland (TFI) Network.
Route 178 will replace Bus Éireann Route 108 and will operate three daily return services between Kells and Bailieboro with two services extending to Cootehill via Canningstown Monday to Sunday.
The new route will provide morning services for commuters and connectivity to regional bus services and the villages and areas of Mullaghey, Carlanstown, Moynalty, Mullagh, Relabeg, Bailieboro and Canningstown.
Speaking ahead of the launch, TFI Local Link Cavan Monaghan Manager Padraic Smyth said: "We are delighted to bring forward this enhanced service for the area which adds to the greater public transport network for East Cavan".
